MY REPUBLICAN HERO?

My hero is Deputy Attorney General  Rob Rosenstein who is taking a LOT of uncalled for abuse  in the war of elected Republican Representatives against Republican-appointed officials.*  Yes, I am a social libertarian, but I also have certain modern conservative tendencies such as favoring Free Trade, explore Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) for oil and complete the Keystone XL Pipeline.

But I'm really impressed byRob Rosenstein.  Even the letter he drafted for President Trump to fire James Comey was the reason that Comey should have been fired though not the reason that Trump wanted to fire him.

He is taking a lot of abuse from elected politicians, particularly in the House of Representatives who are demanding that Rosenstein turn over to them documents pertaining to an ongoing investigation that involves the president.  Actually, he had given the House of Representatives more sensitive documents than he should have, like the records of FISA Warrants.

Particularly terrible are House members like Rep. Jim Jordan from Ohio and South Carolina.'s Rep. Trey Gowdy who use particularly offensive and demanding language trying to get even more sensitive material out of the Justice Dept. on ongoing investigations.  They got the entire Republican House members to vote to demand the sensitive records.  Don't they realize that they are wittingly or unwittingly assets of Russian dictator Putin and doing his job for him?

Such members of the House keep threatening to impeach Rosenstein, who is undeterred from doing his job.  Hooray for him!  I hope he can continue to do his job.  I'm sure he is taking a lot of abuse.

Incidentally, Gowdy chaired the silly Benghazi hearings for 2-1/2 yrs but insists the investigation into Russian involvement in the 2016 Presidental Election should be terminated in something over a year.

Gowdy plans to retire after this term.  At first I thought he might join those elected politicians who are critical of this administration, but, apparently, I was wrong.
